GARDENING
Gardening Jobs for October
• October is a good month for planting evergreen hedging such as conifers, privet or box always prepare the ground well and improve the soil by adding well-rotted manure or compost. • Lift the height of mower blades as grass growth begins to slow. • Clear away bean sticks and other garden stakes where plants have stopped growing and remove rotting vegetation. • Store root crops in dry sand or very dry compost and store top fruit in a cool frost free place.
• Continue planting spring flowering bulbs; small bulbs should be planted 5-8 cm( 4- 8 in) deep and larger bulbs 10-15 cm (4-6 in) deep. A handful of grit in the planting hole will help with drainage. Leave the planting of tulips until next month. • Plant up some containers for spring colour and think about using some small growing evergreen shrubs which are always available in garden centre’s at this time of year for your containers. Keep them in a sheltered spot over the winter period. • Continue deadheading plants as the flowers fade and remove dead stems from perennials.
• Plant garlic and over wintering onion sets outdoors but sow sweet peas indoors to produce strong plants which can be planted outside in early March. • Continue preparing the ground for new fruit trees and shrubs. • Towards the end of the month if a cold spell threatens bring any tender plants indoors and keep them on the dry side over winter. Check them over regularly and remove any dead foliage. • Harvest squashes and pumpkins and collect seeds from runner beans, make sure these are completely dry before storing them.

Anthony Smith Joins ASFL Solicitors Anthony began his Private Client career at Barclays Bank Trust Company in Exeter in 1982, and has since worked offshore in Cayman Islands, Panama, Jersey and Isle of Man, and also in the City of London with Barings Trust Company, where clients included members of the Royal Family. He is pleased to bring his experience back to the South West to assist my local clients. He can advise clients on drafting wills, probate & estate administration, trust drafting and management, powers of attorney and Court of Protection, and tax and estate planning, and this has included successfully taking power of attorney instructions from stroke patients. Anthony has been an Associate of the Chartered Institute of Bankers, since 1992, and a full member of the Society of Trust & Estate Practitioners (STEP), since 1996. Outside of the office, he enjoys swimming in the sea all year around, sea and estuary kayaking, walking in the South West countryside and playing guitar. He is happy to see client remotely by phone, zoom, skype / teams or at our Weston and Winscombe offices. He is happy to travel further afield and will also visit hospital or do home visits, if required.
Anthony can be reached on 01934 533130 or anthonysmith@asflsolicitors.co.uk
Why Make a Will, Have a Power of Attorney or Consider Tax Planning It is important that make your Will, if you have family or dependents on whom you wish to specify benefit. Otherwise, your estate will be the subject of statutory intestacy provisions, and these may not match your own wishes. If you wish to preserve your wealth, you can make use of trusts - will trusts that operate after your death, and lifetime trusts that you can set up now. In both scenarios, you can preserve wealth for your family for generations to come. The trustees manage the wealth objectively and so preserve it. The beneficiaries will not be able to squander the capital. Additionally, if you have a disabled child, for example, a trust is a good way to manage their money, and so lifestyle, in the future when you are unavailable to be there to help them. Where a person has already died, all may not be lost, as the beneficiaries of the will or intestacy can vary the terms of it within two years of death. Additionally, anyone may make a claim on a person’s estate, which may or may not be successful. Please contact Anthony Smith to make an appointment or with any questions.

Computer keeping you waiting around? A simple upgrade can make all the difference. While there are various reasons that computers become slow, such as lack of proper maintenance, or virus infections, the most common reason is slow, aged hard disks. These disks store the data on a computer and play a large role in determining the overall speed of the computer. Unfortunately, due to their mechanical design which involves constant friction and movement, hard disks wear down over time. This means lifespans are often short, and performance faces a steady decline until eventual disk failure and data loss. Fortunately, we can now upgrade many computers or laptops to a modern superfast alternative known as Solid State Drives. Because these have no moving parts, speeds are much faster than traditional disks. This makes the overall experience of using a computer more responsive and reliable. Wait times are significantly cut down when performing everyday tasks, and common issues such as system freezes become rare occurrences. Data is also much safer when stored on these modern drives as they fail far less often than traditional disks.
